It seems like Odette reacts the most to Bess, which is probably to do with her Marvin ancestry and could be putting Bess in a dangerous scenario. I’d love to see more episodes like this, giving the characters a chance to exist in the non-supernatural world and face the challenges of normal life.Īs for the mystery of the final moments, I’m quite intrigued to see where this thing with Odette is headed.
It’s perfectly imperfect moment, and was worth every minute for the singular scene at the bus station. The “mystery” was just a bunch of women with a lot going on, trying to find their way through it (and a hotel embracing capitalism and the people’s desire to believe something is special). There were no life or death circumstances. I love that not everything on this show has to be directly tied to the supernatural, even if there are supernatural elements involved (in this case, Odette’s appearance when the dumbwaiter crashed).
The kidnapped girl that turned out to have just run away because she didn’t like college was such an unexpected twist, but it worked perfectly. The mystery on Nancy Drew season 2, episode 7 turned out to be one of my favorites of the entire show, which I was not expecting.
She did that a little at the beginning of the series as she struggled with her mother’s passing, but has Nancy even really dealt with that grief yet? It’s time for Nancy to fall apart for a little while before putting herself back together again, with the help of her friends. Nancy is such a beautifully complex woman, it’s hard to believe that she’s managed to stay this composed so far. Losing her mother wasn’t enough, she had to discover her entire life she had been lied to by her and her father as well? Not to mention the million other things that anyone else would have struggled to handle alone, much less at the same time. More exciting than the mysteries on this show is the dive into Nancy Drew’s headspace that we are fortunate enough to get every few episodes, as we see on Nancy Drew season 2, episode 7 with Nancy contemplating following through on her dreams of Columbia.Īs Nancy listed everything she’s been through over the last few months of her life to the girl that ran away, it really sunk in how much shit the universe has thrown at Nancy. She’s been very guarded and rough with the people who care about her, and maybe Odette’s horrifying past and George’s near-death encounter will show her that life is too short to push everyone away. The aftermath of Odette for George is potentially the most exciting aspect of this story because who knows what this could do to George or how it could change her. She’s got a lot to deal with, and with Nick pressuring her to open up (as if that wasn’t hard enough for her before), George is headed for a full-blown meltdown. As if dying wasn’t enough, she’s come back and doesn’t feel right in her body, partially because Odette’s taken up residence there as well. But that makes the story even more exciting, as I’m counting on the writers to deliver something fantastic. At this point, I don’t even have fleshed out theories about what Odette’s endgame could be, nor what could help separate her spirit from George’s.
To say I have no idea where this story is headed would not be an understatement.
